See, for my profession, there are two base credentialing exams: the CRT and the RRT. I took the CRT back in January, but in order for me to actually graduate in May, I had to take my RRT exam today. Well, today and yesterday, to be specific. I was lazy and didn't feel like cramming the entire thing into one day.
Anyway, this time I had someone drop me off so I didn't have to venture passed the vagrants at the bus station, which was nice. Instead, I got dropped off by an elementary school playground that looks ridiculously out of place in the area. This section of town isn't horrible, but it's not the nicest. In fact, there's a large-scale urban renewal project going on all over the city. Which will make it lovely in about ten years, but for now it's still a mess of broken concrete and abandoned buildings. And this shiny, brand-new elementary school playground filled with shiny, brand-new playground paraphernalia, all of which was being completely ignored by the schoolchildren in favor of huddling by the fence trying to shield their iPods and cell phones from the monitors.
Anyway, after wandering passed the children, I found myself facing the alley once again.
I took pictures this time, because I felt like some of y'all didn't quite believe me last time. Here's some of the poorly-executed graffiti:
And the door, which has since been marked, to an extent:
I can't really say much about the tests themselves - other than I think our professors were intentionally giving us practice tests that were harder than the real thing. I mean, they scared the bejeesus out of us when we were preparing for them, and they wasn't nearly as bad as I thought they were going to be. And all that matters is:
Erin the Great, RRT. I kinda like the sound of that.
